Why is there so much breakage and hair problems with black hair?
I am often asked what is the difference between Caucasian, Asian and African American Hair. The answer is simple. At the root of the hair there is no significant difference. After the hair grows up from the medulla and leaves the hair then there is a big difference.
So, if there is no big difference then why are African Americans experiencing such horrible hair breakage. The answer to that is threefold!
1) How the hair treated chemically
2) What is attached to the hair
3) Diet of the individual ( most important)
All chemicals deplete hair of the sulfur bond and one of the main amino acid's' in hair called cystine. This is why your hair dresser should not color, highlight, perm or relax your hair if it is damaged because these processes will only damage it more!
So how do you replenish hair? What can you do so that you can keep having these processes done without really damaging your hair further to the point of catastrophe.
1) It is my opinion that a hair vitamin and deep conditioner are the best ways to fix hair problems resulting from depletion.
I would suggest Hair Stimulator Vitamins and Emu Oil Conditioner, and possibly a deep treatment to jump start your healthy hair. Emu Conditioner is the most advanced conditioner that we know of today. It actually goes to damaged parts of the hair and repairs it This is an excellent fix for existing hair. However for healthier hair growth and much stronger hair overall we suggest that you start the hair vitamins and Hair Stimulator is second to none. all the amino acids to make the protein chains that hair is made up of, as well the b group of vitamins and finally several of the much needed minerals for hair growth.
2) Using weaves or extensions can damage hair and hair roots. Take heed and add a hair vitamins to your diet!!! The hair vitamins make your roots strong so that they cannot be as easily pulled causing traction alopecia, breakage, splitting, damage and much more!
3) Diet! You may not want to talk about this since it is easier to stop by and get something fried than it is to cook with less fat! But more importantly you should note that essential fatty acids also known as omega 3's are essential for hair growth, healthy skin and fingernails. If your body is lacking essential fatty acids then definite problems can occur. Where can you get essential fatty acids? Emu oil is loaded with omega 3's. Emu oil products can be found here!
